The second major long weekend of summer is upon us! BC Robotics will be closed Monday August 7th for the BC Day Holiday. All orders placed after 4:00PM on Friday August 4th will ship out the following Tuesday. Have a safe and happy long weekend!

Just a couple new products added for this weeks’s New Product Roundup. We now have a new, smaller, Vacuum Air Pump for situations where the large 12V pump we normally carry wont work. We also have added a Raspberry Pi Ethernet HAT which is designed and built here at BC Robotics. This board is technically meant for use with all versions of the Pi Zero, but also works great with the Raspberry Pi A+. Let’s jump in and have a closer look!

Welcome back to another weekly installment of our New Product Roundup! This week we are excited to announce a new Raspberry Pi HAT designed and built in house for a very cool Raspberry Pi Project, a new standoff, and another type of right angle breakaway header. Let’s go have a closer look!

For the past few months we have been watching a replica of one of the coolest Raspberry Pi cases ever made come to life. The original AstroPi Flight Case was first unveiled in 2015, and cost equivalent of $5000 CAD. Much of this extreme cost had to do with where it was going – the International Space Station. But even without all of the regulatory requirements of a confined space station, the cost of milling the original design was said to be too high for a consumer version.Read more

It is Saturday, and that means it is time for another New Product Roundup! This week we have just a few new products to showcase. Let’s jump in and have a look at a portable butane soldering iron kit from Weller and a few different variations of female to female 70cm hookup cables!
